Biweekly Cleaning vs. Monthly Cleaning: Which Is Best for Your Home?
One of the most common questions we get at Kidwell’s Kleaning is: “Should I choose biweekly cleaning or monthly cleaning?”
The truth is there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best cleaning frequency depends on your home, your schedule, and how you like your space to feel. Here are a few things to consider when deciding between biweekly and monthly professional house cleaning.
How clean do you like your home to stay?
If you like your home to feel company-ready most of the time, biweekly cleaning (or even weekly cleaning) is usually the best choice. Regular cleanings prevent buildup and keep your home consistently fresh. It will keep you feeling at peace as well!
Monthly cleaning works better for homes with very light use, minimal clutter, and slower buildup.
How busy is your household?
Homes with kids, pets, or busy schedules tend to get messy faster. Between work, school, activities, and everyday life, cleaning often becomes a necessity rather than a luxury.
In these situations, biweekly cleaning (or again, maybe weekly) helps keep things under control and reduces the stress of falling behind.
What happens when a monthly cleaning gets skipped?
This is a big one and something to really think about!
When a monthly cleaning falls on a holiday, during illness, or on a day with bad weather, that visit usually has to be skipped. Rescheduling during this time can be very difficult, especially from November to January when there are so many holidays to contend with.
That can mean up to 8 weeks between cleanings, especially during winter months. For most homes, that’s simply too long.
With biweekly cleaning, even if one visit is skipped, it’s only 4 weeks between cleanings, which is much easier to maintain.
What our biweekly cleaning customers tell us
We hear this feedback often from our recurring cleaning clients:
“Having biweekly cleaning pressures us to pick up at least twice a month — something we probably wouldn’t do otherwise!”
“I love knowing I can have company over anytime with very little notice.”
“Hiring a professional cleaning service gave me back time with my family. I just don’t know how we managed without it.”
So which cleaning frequency is right for you?
Both biweekly and monthly cleaning can work — the key is choosing the option that fits your lifestyle.
At Kidwell’s Kleaning, we offer flexible recurring cleaning services. You can switch between monthly and biweekly cleaning as your needs change! We do recommend making changes before the busy holiday season, when availability becomes limited.
